Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building
- Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lakeside/Sinclair/Blythe Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would be at odds with the prevailing pattern of pitched roofs on the rear outriggers and would constitute an incongruous element in the Conservation Area context, with no public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
